Opening and closing
42
Electric power windows
Open and close windows
From "radio" mode on:
>
Press the switch until you feel resis-
tance:
The window continues to move as long as
you continue to hold the switch
>
Press the switch beyond the resistance
point:
The window moves downward automati-
cally. Press the switch again to stop the
opening movement.
You can close the windows in the same
manner by pulling the switch.
The power windows remain available for
use after the ignition is switched off:
>
for approx. 15 minutes with the remote
control unit in the "radio" mode
>
for approx. 1 minute in position 0 or with
the remote control unit disengaged.
To open, press the switch beyond the pres-
sure point.
When leaving the vehicle parked,
always remove the remote control
from the ignition lock and close the doors;
this precaution prevents children from
operating the power windows and injuring
themselves, etc.

For information on using the convenience
operation mode at the door lock or with the
remote control unit, refer to page
37 or 36 .
Safety feature
If the force rises beyond a predefined
threshold during closing, the system will
immediately stop moving the window prior
to lowering it slightly.
Despite this safety feature you should
always inspect the window's travel
path prior to closing it, as the safety system
might fail to detect certain kinds of obstruc-
tions, such as very thin objects, and the
window would continue closing.
Pulling the switch beyond the pressure
point and holding it limits the response of
the safety feature. Under these conditions
the window will respond to forces beyond a
defined threshold by only opening several
millimeters.
If you again pull the switch past the pres-
sure point and hold it in position within a
period of roughly 4 seconds, the safety
feature will be deactivated.
<
If you desire, you can have your BMW
center reprogram the safety feature
for deactivation the first time you pull and
hold the switch. Please contact your BMW
center for assistance.
<
When you close the windows they will
slow down as they approach the end
of their travel; this is to allow the safety
feature to respond more precisely to any
obstructions encountered in this critical
range.

Safety switch
With the safety switch, you can prevent the
rear windows from being opened or closed
via the switches in the rear passenger area
(by children, for example). The switch also
deactivates the rear-mounted switches
controlling the rear seats' power adjust-
ment, refer to page
47 , and the rear
window sun blinds, refer to page 109 . The
